Mac mini Server would mean no more converting or worrying about file formats. Even annoying containers like MKV wouldn't be a pain in the ass anymore.

Not to mention the whole computer side of things. Get the Apple (or any other manufacturer's) bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and bam! Screw trying to surf the Net on your TV, using a PS3 or whatever. Do it on a real computer in 1080P.

You still get all the iTunes stuff that you do on your ATV.
